10 Most Ridiculous Weapons Used In Action Movies

10. The UV Arc - Blade Trinity

On the surface, this actually seems like the coolest vampire hunting weapon ever. The UV arc, from the otherwise disappointing Blade: Trinity, was a weapon made to kill vampires as efficiently as possible by fusing together their two biggest weaknesses: sunlight and sharp stake-like objects being lobbed at them at high speeds.

The UV arc is a high tech bow and arrow that shoots arrows that give off UV rays almost twice as powerful as the surface of the sun. Now you may read that and start cackling with maniacal glee because, well, that sounds awesome! Certainly a quick way to deal with any vampires that try to mess with you.

But the more observant among us may be noticing a little glitch in the design of this weapon from my description. The rays given off by the UV arc's arrows are hotter than the surface of the sun. That sounds like a recipe for disaster since, if you're THAT hot, you'll set fire to entire rooms just by standing in them. So yeah the UV arc will take out any vampires that cross your path, but let's just say your victory will be...short lived, as it were.
